Fidel Sclavo "after Ego"
Josee Bienvenu Gallery
This event has ended.
after Ego is Fidel Sclavo's first solo exhibition in New York.
“A list of things
Random lists of many things
Fragments of different sources
Ruins of something that are not here anymore, and look the same
A sort of archaeology of what once was
The memorabilia of the day after
All the diverse things and moments which make and define ourselves, and now are lost, like forgotten parts of a broken machine
From a piece of chalk, a cotton ball, a glass of milk, to a subway ticket, a cavity, a Saturday afternoon, a photograph of a fountain
in small and unrecognizable pieces
The remains of our personality, our society, our inner and outer worlds
After the storm
After ambition and disaster
After the promise became another one
An alter ego
After ego.”
(Fidel Sclavo, 2008)
Fidel Sclavo was born in 1960 in Uruguay. He lives and works in Montevideo and Buenos Aires.
